Well... the food was good and I like that it was really homemade. Good coffee. Friendly staff. They are proud to be vegan and gluten-free (thank you), but I noticed "marine collagen" for sale in the shop. I checked and it was "fish" collagen, but collagen made from "fish" is a disaster for so many ecological reasons. I told the owner of the place and... he absolutely did not care and right after I left, he told his staff "so what?" It drives me crazy that a vegan place sells those harmful products for the ocean.

The environment: a café with two faces: one scene that wants to be trendy proposing gourmet, organic, vegan, and gluten-free dishes. Behind the scenes, we find boxes of food filled with vegetables placed outside, a kitchen that is not appealing to see with an employee hiding it from your view, and restrooms (it was midnight) worthy of note for their highway-like unsanitary conditions ☆ 1/5 The service: three unfriendly ladies who have undergone a smile surgery but forgot to take out the stitches ☆ 1/5 The presentation: few choices for a café that defines itself as gourmet. I even wonder about the freshness of the quiches, pizzas, and tarts presented ☆ 1/5 The tasting: dishes that could correspond to the current vegan bloggers, but far from true plant-based and gluten-free cooking. It’s not enough to sprinkle some seeds everywhere to justify the organic and plant-based aspect. A big, big doubt about the proposed plant-based cuisine. Even the coffee is bitter, just like the overall atmosphere ☆ 1/5 The wallet: expensive, expensive, expensive.... given the quality offered, the freshness of the products, and the customer service ☆ 1/5 My rant: a deceptive place that only serves appearances and profit. RUN AWAY!!!

An intimate and cozy place, the dish of the day ratatouille and scrambled egg-style tofu was delicious. I also had a chia seed dessert with coconut milk and fruit at an exorbitant price (€6.50) and a very good small gluten-free focaccia (€1.50). Overall very good and homemade, I lament the price which is quite expensive for fairly limited portions.

Delicious and healthy, 100% vegan and gluten-free! I am so happy to find this cozy plant-based Ayurvedic restaurant in the city center. The food was delicious, as were the drinks and desserts. The service was wonderful too. It's a bit pricey, but healthy and tasty, and definitely not touristy.
